The driver write_room and chars_in_buffer callbacks used to incorrectly
return a negative errno in case they were called while or after the port
had been closed. The return value was later changed to zero by commit
d76f2f4462 ("io_edgeport: Fix various bogus returns to the tty
layer") but the bogus sanity checks were left in place as were the
outdated function-header comments.
These callbacks will never be called for an uninitialised port so drop
the unnecessary sanity checks and the outdated comments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
